OLDENZAAL, The Netherlands, April 28, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Today sees the official European launch of IRIS, a monitor with camera reflection system that allows you to make real eye contact online. IRIS is the cheaper and qualitative alternative to video conferencing. Iris2iris BV, a Dutch company, developed the product.

IRIS is the only system that can be combined with any web conference and video chat program. Whether you use Skype, Webex or Vidyo, IRIS enables you to have real online eye contact. IRIS is also the only system for which the 'receiving party' does not need a device in order to have eye contact, and as such it is codec-free. This provides a whole range of opportunities for, for example, remote sales, healthcare and education, but also for online helpdesks, contact centres and the communication between different offices of a company.

IRIS can be linked to any Windows or Apple system. The user looks at his monitor, but because of the mirror construction it is as if he is looking straight into the camera. The product fits perfectly on every desk and can also be used as a second monitor.

The Swede Jens Pind, COO of Danish kitchen giant HTH Kokkener A/S and owner of Kiming A.B., is one of the first users. 'IRIS is a sturdy system and is always ready to use, as it can sit on your desk. Everyone I talk to thinks that having eye contact is very pleasant. They say they feel as if they are actually sitting around the table with me. I was used to webcams, but this is a totally new experience all together. IRIS is a perfect system to expand your contacts online in a professional manner, without having to buy expensive and inflexible video conferencing equipment.'

Iris2iris-owner Marco Asbreuk: 'This year, IRIS won the Chanel Xcellence Award for product innovation. The Rabobank and non-departmental public bodies already use IRIS for remote contact with their customers, real-time, via video communication. We serve Europe via agent partnerships.'
